Class ReplicatedDHT

java.lang.Object

de.zib.scalaris.ReplicatedDHT

public class ReplicatedDHT
extends Object

Provides methods to delete all replicas of the given key (from api_rdht.erl).

Instances of this class can be generated using a given connection to a scalaris node using ReplicatedDHT(Connection) or without a connection (ReplicatedDHT()) in which case a new connection is created using ConnectionFactory.createConnection().

Deleting values

 
   String key;
   int timeout;
   DeleteResult result;

   TransactionSingleOp sc = new ReplicatedDHT();
   sc.delete(key);                    // delete(String)
   sc.delete(key, timeout);           // delete(String, int)
   result = sc.getLastDeleteResult(); // getLastDeleteResult()
 
 

Connection errors

Errors when setting up connections or trying to send/receive RPCs will be handed to the ConnectionPolicy that has been set when the connection was created. By default, ConnectionFactory uses DefaultConnectionPolicy which implements automatic connection-retries by classifying nodes as good or bad depending on their previous state. The number of automatic retries is adjustable (default: 3).

Constructor Detail

ReplicatedDHT

public ReplicatedDHT()
              throws ConnectionException

Constructor, uses the default connection returned by ConnectionFactory.createConnection().

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the connection fails

ReplicatedDHT

public ReplicatedDHT(Connection conn)

Constructor, uses the given connection to an erlang node.

Parameters:

conn - connection to use for the transaction

Method Detail

delete

public DeleteResult delete(OtpErlangString key)
                    throws ConnectionException,
                           TimeoutException,
                           UnknownException

Tries to delete all replicas of the given key in 2000ms. WARNING: This function can lead to inconsistent data (e.g. deleted items can re-appear). Also when re-creating an item the version before the delete can re-appear.

Parameters:

key - the key to delete

Returns:

a delete result object

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the connection is not active or a communication error occurs or an exit signal was received or the remote node sends a message containing an invalid cookie

TimeoutException - if a timeout occurred while trying to delete the value

UnknownException - if any other error occurs

Tries to delete all replicas of the given key. WARNING: This function can lead to inconsistent data (e.g. deleted items can re-appear). Also when re-creating an item the version before the delete can re-appear.

Parameters:

key - the key to delete

timeout - the time (in milliseconds) to wait for results

Returns:

a delete result object

                           UnknownException

Tries to delete all replicas of the given key in 2000ms.

Parameters:

key - the key to delete

getLastDeleteResult

public DeleteResult getLastDeleteResult()

Returns the result of the last call to delete(String).

Returns:

the delete result

Throws:

UnknownException - is thrown if an unknown reason was encountered

closeConnection

public void closeConnection()

Closes the transaction's connection to a scalaris node. Note: Subsequent calls to the other methods will throw ConnectionExceptions!
